Thoughtful Decorating Rooted in Hospitality
About AntyDarling Decorating
AntyDarling Decorating grew out of my love for hospitality and the small, meaningful details that make a space feel like home.
I’m a hostess at heart. I notice how light enters a room, how a table invites people to linger, and how a space can either help us exhale or leave us distracted. That attentiveness shapes everything I do.
AntyDarling Decorating is rooted in helping spaces feel welcoming and well-cared-for, using what’s already there whenever possible.
Sometimes that looks like preparing a home for listing. Other times it’s refreshing a restaurant, reworking lighting, or helping a space feel more settled and inviting through small, thoughtful shifts.

A Thoughtful, Hospitality-Led Approach
AntyDarling Decorating offers thoughtful, in-space guidance to help spaces feel cozy, spacious, and ready to welcome people well.
I work with homeowners, hosts, and businesses to refine layout, light, and styling. Whether preparing a home for sale, refreshing a hospitality space, or settling into a new season in a familiar place, the goal is always the same: to help a space feel warmer, calmer, and more inviting.
This work is not about perfection or full redesigns.
It’s about first impressions, flow, and care.
Where This Comes From
I’m Antoinetta, a Georgia peach at heart, now learning the rhythms of coastal life in North Carolina.
Much of my eye for space has been shaped by Southern hospitality, slower living, and a deep appreciation for everyday beauty.
I live in Bolivia, North Carolina with my husband, daughter, and our dog, Remy. You’ll often find me on a sunset walk, setting a table, baking something familiar, or updating my front door and home as the seasons shift.
That same instinct carries into my decorating work.
